Date last modified: September 01, 2005 Find more Megadeth tabs, including the most updated version of this tab, at: The Vault of Deth: The Ultimate Megadeth Guitar Tab Collection http://abysslord.com/megadeth/ Tuning: Standard Just use this as a guide as the mp3 I have is pretty poor quality, the solo is vintage Mustaine so if you know his solos, you'll be able to improv this no problem. I can't tell if there is a guitar rhythm going on here or not, so I'm not going to bother with it.
